#2 More people were killed in the recent Tennessee tornado than by COVID-19.

This virus is being pumped like crazy by the MSM this morning.

Many places are being quarantined because of this virus. However, the political campaigning and political rallies continue without any quarantine. So how much of a threat can the virus really be?

#5 It has already come to the US, people have already died, and it's just getting started. We are where Italy was 3 weeks ago. If I'm wrong you can say "I told you so" in May.

#6 notes:
retirement home should be prime conditions.
108 retires.
6 deaths.

Beware mortality rates. it isn't 5.something percent. We need the number recovered and the number dead. Using the number infected is often used and that gives an artificially low rate.

#8 My mothers retirement home basically had a lock in for a month in which food was delivered to rooms rather than have anyone go to the communal dining area. It was about the Flu but it would have protected them just as well from coronavirus. That should be the sort of thing they do with old folks homes everywhere. Then you just have to worry about the staff and visitors.
